Rubrica a cadenza casuale in cui vi mostro le mie nuove scoperte libresche in lingua inglese.
Titolo: AutoboyographyAutore: Christina Lauren
Trama:
Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah.
But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity.
It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.

Trama:
Seventeen-year-old Molly
Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love—she’s lived through it
twenty-six times. She crushes hard and crushes often, but always in
secret. Because no matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells
her to woman up, Molly can’t stomach the idea of rejection. So she’s
careful. Fat girls always have to be careful.
Then a cute new girl enters Cassie’s orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly’s cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly’s totally not dying of loneliness—except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie’s new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. Will is funny and flirtatious and just might be perfect crush material. Maybe more than crush material. And if Molly can win him over, she’ll get her first kiss and she’ll get her twin back.
There’s only one problem: Molly’s coworker Reid. He’s an awkward Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there’s absolutely no way Molly could fall for him. Right?

One of Us Is Lying
is the story of what happens when five strangers walk into detention
and only four walk out alive. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone has
something to hide.
Pay close attention and you might solve this.
Pay close attention and you might solve this.
On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.
Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule.
Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess.
Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app.
Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose?
Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.

Quello della Albertalli l'ho letto la settimana scorsa e One of Us is Lying ce l'ho da parecchio in wishlist perché mi intriga tantissimo e non l'ho ancora preso perché la copia in paperback con quella cover non era ancora disponibile.
RispondiEliminaIl primo non lo conoscevo, ma l'ho segnato - mi incuriosisce! :)
Questi tre non sono nella mia WL :3 però sembrano carini, soprattutto il primo!
